Governor Healey signs bill. Equity theft now illegal in Massachusetts.

5. Wow I missed that one. 9-0 on May 25 2023 SCOTUS

Ruled in favor of a Minnesota woman that local governments can’t collect more than they’re owed in tax collections.

I looked up that the MA legislature was dragging their feel in addressing this and state Sen. Mark Montigny had been submitting a bill on home equity theft since 2018. He was threatening to force a roll call on this or attach the bill to anything going through the legislature.

MA has been democratically controlled in both houses for a long time. Can’t blame this on the other side. Just reps not representing their constituents!!!

Thank you for telling me. I hope other states have addressed this. It was/is an unforgivable policy.
